The Jets signed wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo on Thursday, the team announced. In a corresponding move, wideout JJ Jones was waived.

Adeboyejo, a 6-foot-3 target, was an undrafted free agent singing of the Baltimore Ravens following the 2017 NFL draft.

The 24-year-old played his college ball at Mississippi and hauled in 106 receptions for 1,454 yards (13.7 yards/catch) and 11 touchdowns in his college career. In 2018 he spent the season on the PUP list with a leg injury and he was released in late July, ahead of training camp. 

 

Adeboyejo reportedly worked out for the Jets earlier on Thursday.

Jones had one one catch for the Jets last season and also spent time on the team's practice squad. He played 31 offensive snaps through the team's first two preseason games.
